October was full of fall festivities and although this post will be mainly pics, I really wanted the memories of all the fun things we did. So, hang in there! We went to a couple of pumpkin patches/festivals. It has been so fun experiencing the culture here and the new people we have met along the way. Meili has a great preschool group and we enjoy lots of playgroups and play dates. Our life would be completely different if not for the church's network, it's awesome to have instant friends :)
We had a couple of halloween parties and I even took Kai out of school for a trip to the fire station which sadly enough was his first time! It was well worth the wait!
Bre and her family drove down mid month and the girls did some serious crafting while the boys entertained themselves :) We made leg warmers, shirts, and monogrammed wall art. It was intense but sooo worth it! We hit up a local renaissance festival on saturday complete with knife and hatchet throwing and we even managed to squeeze in a little shopping and eating out. It was fabulous!
Kai got this gem in the mail from uncle Daniel and was sooo excited to be a fireman for Halloween Together we all made the dream come true. He was in HEAVEN! We loved tagging along for his school field trip Meili loves going to his things. It's the highlight of her day :)
Sometimes we do this while Kai's in school. SSsshhhh don't tell him... :)
Another local festival complete with airsoft gun training :) Meili loved it and is so proud of herself. She really is such a tomboy!
Sugar cookies for every holiday! It's tradition :)
I just had to put this in. Tristan really loves Kailer. The bond these two boys have is just different. Even though there is such a huge age gap they gravitate toward eachother. Tristan just follows him around like his little shadow. It is precious :)
Carving and painting! Meili carved a flower and painted every inch of her pumpkin. Kai carved a vampire bat on his and painted a vampire bat and a ghost on his. He's very into spooky things this year! Tristan just thinks he's a dog so kai/mei helped carve a dog into his pumpkin. T loved painting his pumpkin/body though. It was an awesome family night!
Meili is quite the little momma and loves feeling big. I'm not sure how T feels about it... And here we have fireman complete with dalmatian for T, which I made, and meili wanted to be tink, so I whipped up some shoes for her to complete the outfit. It was great fun for all :) LOVE HALLOWEEN!
Plus, I made a few friends :) We had a dying party. Not like a cult thing, but like we dyed white items in our wardrobe. I now have a brand new pair of perfectly toned mint skinnies :) We did learn a few lessons along the way though. ;)
Meili's made some too :)
Heck, even the Daddy has made some :)
Definitely enjoying life right now and soooo aware that they are growing and changing way too quickly!
